When I entered the palace gate, it was already half a slanting sun hanging in the sky. The incense cart drove on the palace road unhurriedly, and the wheels of the car creaked on the moire. Lu Yinhua had already opened his eyes and sat upright, while Lu Yuebai fell asleep leaning on Li Danchen's shoulder. Lu Nianyu and Wei Nu'er sat by the window on the left and right sides respectively, and Nu'er reached out to pick up the corner of the agate curtain and raised her eyebrows. What catches your eye is a series of towering palaces, and from a distance you can only see the undulating red tiles and green roofs. The wide palace road is divided into three roads by two small paths carved with cloud patterns, flanked by palace maids and eunuchs hurrying with their heads bowed, and guards patrolling around. In the middle, a large road is set aside for incense carts. This is a spaciousness that the General's Mansion does not have.

The incense cart jolted slightly, then stopped. A palace maid picked up the curtain and poked her head in, "Ladies and gentlemen, Yonghe Gate has arrived." Please move to the next step. ”

Lu Yinhua nodded slightly, then got up and got out of the car. The slave was the last to get off the car, she was still young and not tall, Rao stepped on the car and still almost stumbled. Lin Hui didn't know when she stood beside her and helped her. Nu'er glanced back at Lin Hui gratefully. When Li Yu got out of the car, he saw this scene, and his expression couldn't help but become gloomy. She glanced at Lin Hui, slowly turned around and sat down surrounded by everyone.

Because it was nearly dusk when he entered the palace, he was originally scheduled to go to Shoukang Palace to meet all the children of the Lu family of the Queen Mother, but he changed it to meet the children of the descendants. The rest of the concubine's children were divided into two groups and were taken away and placed by the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Wei Nuer and Lu Nianyu were in Zhuyun Tower together, according to their identity, Li Danchen should have been with them, Lu Yinhua went to ask the Li family, so Li Danchen lived with Lu Yinhua's sisters in Changmutang. Zhu Yunlou and Changmu Hall are on the left and right sides of Shoukang Palace, the former is separated from Shoukang Palace by two roads, and the latter is only separated by a path and a garden.

Lu Nianyu was silent, and the slave hardly talked to her on the same road. When they arrived at the place, they each took the girls they brought from home back to their rooms.

"Bilan, put away the clothes you have brought with you. It was my mother who personally sent someone to make a new winter dress for me, so I could look at it. As soon as he entered the house, the slave sat down in the Luohan Collapse and instructed Cai'er with a serious face.

This time, only one person was allowed to bring two girls into the palace, and the slave couldn't touch Qiulan's thoughts on the throne, so he left Bai Shuang in the mansion to watch Qiulan. He brought Fang Gu and Bi Lan, on the one hand, he wanted to explore Fang Gu's background, and on the other hand, he was looking for an opportunity to get rid of Li Yuzhi's eyeliner left by his side.

Bi Lan picked up a wooden box that was not too big or small, answered in a proper manner, and withdrew from the door with the box. Aunt Fang immediately found hot water this time and poured a cup of hot tea for Nu'er, "Although it is not yet the end of the year, this day is getting cold day by day." The girl drank a cup of hot tea and tightened her body, so as not to cool down. ”

Nu'er took a sip of the hot tea, she tilted her head and looked at Fang Gu thoughtfully. Although Fang Gu didn't have much expression on her face, she exuded a joy of returning to her hometown. Everything in the palace seems so familiar to her, her rules, her meticulousness, it seems so out of place in the general's mansion, but it is so compatible here.

"Aunt Fang." The slave called softly.

"What do you have to say, girl?" She turned around and stopped what she was doing.

The slave didn't speak, and stared at her for a while. Fang Gu was a little uncomfortable by her, and asked, "Is the girl hungry?" The slave and maid asked the royal dining room to prepare some food. Saying that, she opened her mouth to go out, and the slave put away the inquiry in her eyes, and said with a sweet smile, "Okay, the slave happens to be hungry." When my aunt first came, could she find out where the imperial dining room was? It seems that the slave is too stupid, the palace is so big, the slave will definitely get lost when he goes out alone. ”

Fang Gu's footsteps stagnated, although her face was faint, but she felt frightened in her heart. She has been hidden in the house for so many years without being noticed, can such a little girl see something? Her eyes looked towards the slave, and she saw that her eyes were bright, and a pair of dark eyes under her long eyelashes were very beautiful, like a black pearl, unadulterated. She was relieved, what could a teenager perceive? Xu is suspicious. Thinking of this, she replied with a smile, "That girl has to ask Cai'er to follow when she goes out, and if she gets lost, she will make a joke." ”

At this time, in the Shoukang Palace, it was peaceful.

The Queen Mother was half-leaning on the couch, and two palace maids knelt in front of her. One beats the legs, the other serves tea. When Li Yu and his pedestrians arrived, the Queen Mother was taking a nap and waited outside the palace for half an hour before being summoned.

When Li Yuzhi entered the hall, he pursed his lips slightly, with a serious expression. Lu Yinhua and Lu Yuebai behind him were even more nervous and sweaty. Heavenly majesty, how many people are not afraid?

"The courtiers (courtiers) meet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is blessed with all the blessings, and all blessings are safe!" Li Yuzhi's mother and daughter bowed down.

The Queen Mother was still half-closed, her fingers tapping her thighs rhythmically, and the Shoukang Palace fell silent. It's so quiet, you can even hear the sound of breathing. In the middle of the night, the palace maid who beat her legs reminded in a low voice, "Queen Mother, the general's wife and the girls of the Lu family greet you." ”

The Queen Mother seemed to have just come back to her senses, opened her eyes slowly, raised her hand and beckoned, "Why are you still kneeling?" Come, give a seat. ”

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" After thanking him, Li Yuzhi was supported by the palace maids to get up and sit down.

The Queen Mother looked at the Lu family sisters carefully, revealing a kind smile, "The mourning family looks at the water spirit of this girl from the Lu family, and she understands etiquette. Li, your two daughters have taught well. The Queen Mother turned her head to Lin Hui and said, "The mourning family remembers that the emperor sent a pair of stumps two days ago, and the bright colors are not suitable for the old bones of the mourning family. These two children look like it, and they are sisters, just a couple. Take it down and get the reward. ”

"Yes." Lin Hui nodded.

After the three of them retreated, Li Yuzhi had not yet thanked him, and the Queen Mother's words suddenly changed, "I just don't know, how is her daughter?" You promised to mourn the family, but you did it? ”

In Shengjing in November, the cold wind is howling and the trees are bleak. The wind leaked in along the curtain that was lifted from time to time at the entrance of Shoukang Palace, hitting Li Yuzhi and making her spine chill. Another palace maid came in with a few stoves, and her body that should have become warm, because of the Queen Mother's words, made her hands even colder.

She barely squeezed out a smile, "The concubine has never broken her word, and has always been kind to that child." Counting, she will be able to survive for another three years. Her marriage, the concubine will choose it for her, and she will never treat her badly. ”

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, and she was helped to sit up straight. He took a string of Buddhist beads and held them in his hand, moved them one by one, and said, "It's great that you can be so benevolent." She has been gone for many years, and finally the mourning family can't live with the child. Naturally, her daughter could no longer be indebted. ”
